Using her position as a guard to steal secrets of healing and help other lower class people means she works hard to remain unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fellow guard Taunos is boisterous, laughing, larger than life\u2013and always around. He attracts attention as easily as breathing, which makes being associated with him dangerous. Better to stay far away, regardless of her attraction to him and his easy calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when Amanah inadvertently insults a magistrate, she must flee the city to avoid his vengeance. She takes a last-minute job escorting a pair of noblemen to another town\u2013a job Taunos is also hired for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the way, she\u2019s forced to reveal her stolen healing skills to keep the small group alive, and finds more support from Taunos than she ever would have dreamed. His confident charm becomes hard to ignore as he sees her as no one else has, even when she\u2019s doing her best to be invisible. But opening herself to romance might be as dangerous as the wildlife and bandits they face in the wilderness, and pursuing her dreams of becoming a healer could attract the ire of those in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Linked to the Children of the Nexus series, this is set after Prelude Cycle and before Between Starfalls, but can be read as a standalone or in any order with the series. The main character, Amanah, appears in Let Loose the Fallen and is briefly mentioned in Between Starfalls. Taunos is a main character of the Children of the Nexus series.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Get your copy now!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Find it on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/204622729-beneath-the-gods-tree\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Goodreads<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bookfunnel.com\/vxvlyi6b0v\">Buy Now<\/a><\/strong> (<strong>ebook or paperback<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directly from <a href=\"https:\/\/hakea-media.square.site\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hakea Media<\/a><\/strong> (<strong>signed paperback<\/strong> copy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hakeamedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BetweenStarfallsBook.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hakeamedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BetweenStarfallsBook.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.hakeamedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BetweenStarfallsBook-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hakeamedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BetweenStarfallsBook-1024x785.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hakeamedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BetweenStarfallsBook-768x589.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hakeamedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/BetweenStarfallsBook-260x200.png 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Never leave the path.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s sacred law, punishable by exile. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When her son goes missing in the perilous mountains, Kaemada defies the law to search for him.

Palon\u2019s days are filled with everything she loves, especially riding the wind. Even being tasked with teaching their way of life to Tebah, a newly bonded teenager, can\u2019t bring her down too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when treasures from the dragons\u2019 hordes are found in Palon\u2019s collection, her idyllic life comes crashing down. Framed, she battles to find the truth, to prove her innocence, while her every move is cast as further evidence against her. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, her teenage charge\u2019s increasingly dangerous behavior puts them both at risk. Tebah&#8217;s suspicion, homesickness, and defiance would be frustrating enough even if Palon wasn\u2019t in the spotlight, with a rival smearing her name at every turn. Dragon tempers shorten, and challenges and disputes shake the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Windward and Palon must find a way to clear her name while also keeping a teenager who hates her and everything about dragon life safe, before their community turns completely against them or vigilante justice succeeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Get your copy now!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Find it on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/53089490-windward\">Goodreads<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/buy.bookfunnel.com\/jraq9wbtqt\">Buy Now!<\/a> (ebook or paperback)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directly from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/hakea-media.square.site\/product\/windward\/1?cs=true\" target=\"_blank\">Hakea Media<\/a><\/strong> (<strong>signed paperback<\/strong> copy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Copyright Hakea Media &#8211; All rights reserved<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amanah knows all-too-well the dangers of catching the attention of the upper class of Arruk.
